The STULZ Employee Policy Handbook is a corporate document that sets out the standards of behaviour expected from everyone working at STULZ, including employees, directors, officers, consultants and contract staff. It is designed to guide daily decision-making and ensure a respectful, ethical and safe workplace.
The handbook opens by explaining its purpose and scope. It applies to all STULZ personnel without exception and encourages anyone facing an ethical dilemma to speak up. It also lists the company's responsibilities, such as providing training, protecting against retaliation and continuously improving policies.
The Code of Conduct section covers respect and dignity, equal opportunities, protection of company property, gifts and donations, anti-bribery, concurrent employment and conflict of interest. It also addresses workplace health and safety, requiring employees to follow procedures and report hazards.
The disciplinary policy describes three stages of action, starting with a first written warning and moving to a final written warning and possible dismissal. It lists examples of gross misconduct, including harassment, theft, falsification of records and serious safety breaches, and explains the appeals process.
The handbook also covers the appeals procedure, allowing employees to contest disciplinary decisions in writing within five days. It notes that gross misconduct can lead to instant dismissal without notice, while minor misconduct may result in lighter penalties.
